Health centre and place for allotment (10)
I believe the answer is:
allocation
'allotment' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'health centre and place for' is the wordplay.
'centre' means to look at the middle letters.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'place for' becomes 'location' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
The centre of 'health' is 'al'.
'al'+'location'='ALLOCATION'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for allocation that I've seen before include "budget" , "Distribution, assignment" , "Allotment" , "Share" , "Apportionment" .)
